Interim Analysis Of A Virgin Poster

First up, woe is me, for I have been ill.

Woe too, therefore, to my faithful regular readership which has more than doubled (from 2 to 5!!!)

But the show must go on. And gritting my teeth, and trying to handle my infirmity with utmost fortitude, I do a short review today.

It's almost been half a year since, because of envy and jealousy borne out of Jac's rich pickings in blog ad revenues, I tried beat a path for myself and make some money on the side as well.

Alas, sad to say, the going has not been smooth so far. Readership, despite its phenomenal doubling over the last month, is low in absolute terms, to say the least. And the stats show that for a long time, my most-read post was Chick Magnet - My Pussy.

That puzzled me for a while - and then it all made sense. Especially when I delved a little further into the stats that the good people at Blogger.com automatically collate for all earnest bloggers like myself. I looked under the section Keyword Search and when I saw "friendly + pussies", I couldn't resist a chuckle. I could just imagine a hormone-charged teen keying in the words "Chick + Pussies + Stroke + Pictures" under the Search function of blogger and then reading the first few lines of that particular post, which quoted a female friend of mine saying "... I cannot resist stroking your pussy behind a closed door" only to scroll down and see pictures of my two very adorable cats. That must surely have gotten him (or her?!?!) down (hmm... should a pun be intended?)

As Jac told me, if one blogs only for the money, then it is most probable that one would not be able to keep it up. Indeed, after a few months, I've discovered that there is a bizarre (and sometimes perverse) thrill to putting into writing one's thoughts and posting pictures for others so that they see the world, however briefly, through our eyes and it's more than enough if it at least one person appreciates it. As Jac pointed out, most people would read your blog at least once because you told or asked them to, but only a few would continuously go back to it because they genuinely think it is a good read - it is for those few people who you dedicatedly and assiduously write for (and sometimes to).

That said, more hits and more readership, serendipitously obtained or otherwise, is most welcome. And that is why this post will appear to anybody who enters into a Keyword Search the following:- "Virgin" and "Pussy" and "Pictures".
